Heroes Always Make Their Entrance Last

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and pressed one hand against the corpse.

Then, he activated the Spirit-Devouring Holy Gu to devour the three corpses in front of him.

If these three corpses were preserved intact, it probably wouldn't be long before they were used again by this member of the Jiuli Tribe.

If that happened, it would lead to even more deaths.

Xu Mu was solving this problem from its very root.

After devouring the three corpses, he could clearly feel that the Holy Gu in his body seemed to have grown stronger than before.

Boom!

With a loud bang in the sky, Fu Jinyu was sent flying backwards once again.

But Du Yan attacked from a distance once more.

At this moment, the surrounding experts all launched an offensive against the Jiuli Tribe expert.

None of them were fools; the person who had killed their compatriots and controlled their bodies was none other than this Jiuli Tribe expert.

He had already provoked public outrage. Not only these sect experts, but even the other alien race experts also launched attacks against him.

Xu Mu took advantage of this time to peacefully feed his Gu worms.

There were corpses all around. If he didn't destroy them, they would still be utilized by this Jiuli Tribe member.

What Xu Mu was doing right now benefited both others and himself.

"A bunch of ants!"

The old man from the Jiuli Tribe suddenly roared, and all the power in his body erupted outward.

Many experts were even sent flying by the Qi he unleashed.

The black robe he wore also shattered along with it, revealing his true face.

He had short silver hair, red eyes, and cheeks so gaunt they looked like a skull.

There was a scar running straight through his left eye.

Because of this, there was a vertical line across his red eyeball.

Seeing the person in front of her, Fu Jinyu's expression turned grave. "Chi Ting!"

When the others around heard this name, some looked bewildered, while others were filled with terror.

Fu Jinyu continued, "The younger brother of the current ancestor of the Jiuli Tribe. Back then, the two fought for the throne, and he was defeated and vanished."

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

The ancestor of the Jiuli Tribe was unfathomably powerful. As his younger brother, the person before them...

Just as everyone was guessing, Chi Ting had already proven it with his actions.

He was currently suspended in mid-air, with no wings, just standing high up like that.

"Realm-Breaking."

Du Yan's face looked as ugly as it could get.

When the people around saw this scene, the confidence they had just moments ago instantly flipped.

Realm-Breaking meant breaking the restrictions placed on oneself by the Heavenly Dao.

Even at just the first stage, one could break the gravity imposed on their body and gain the ability to fly.

"Brat! What are you doing?"

Chi Ting discovered that those precious corpses on the ground had all disappeared.

These were his treasures.

Boom!

The air exploded, and in an instant, Chi Ting charged towards Xu Mu.

Even though Fu Jinyu saw that the opponent was in the Realm-Breaking stage, she still went forward to block him.

Boom!

The powers of both sides clashed.

Fu Jinyu gritted her teeth, but facing such tremendous pressure, she was still sent flying backwards.

Just as she flew back, Chi Ting's body also suffered a massive shock, and he crashed into a distant hillside.

Everyone around looked to the other side and found that it was the senior cleaner, Hu Qingyun.

"Brother Mu, are you alright?"

Chen Xuan was right behind Hu Qingyun. He smiled as he walked up to Xu Mu's side.

Xu Mu first glanced at Chen Xuan, then looked at Hu Qingyun over there. "Were you treating that senior just now?"

"Although my medical skills aren't as good as yours, Brother Mu, I still have a solid foundation. We couldn't resolve this crisis without Senior Hu," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

If he had stayed by Xu Mu's side with Fu Jinyu just now, not only would he have been unable to help, but he would have also become a burden.

That was why he decided to leave and treat Hu Qingyun.

"Good! Just as expected of you!"

Xu Mu gave a thumbs up.

"Chi Ting! I didn't expect it to be you, you bastard!"

Hu Qingyun sneered.

Rumble!

The trees and boulders on the hillside instantly turned into fine powder, and Chi Ting's figure reappeared high in the air.

"Little brat Hu! You still don't have the right to point fingers in front of me!"

Chi Ting turned into a streak of light and instantly charged towards Xu Mu.

Out of everyone present, the one he wanted to kill the most was Xu Mu.

Even more than he wanted to kill Mr. Soul.

What he took pride in wasn't his combat power, but his ability to control corpses.

Yet, his ultimate technique had been countered by a little brat.

If this person didn't die, he would eventually become a disaster for him.

Seeing this, Hu Qingyun charged towards Chi Ting again.

He had already witnessed Xu Mu's ability just now; he could break the opponent's method of controlling corpses.

He absolutely could not die.

"You're all like flies one by one. Then... I can only show off a little bit. Demonic Guardian!"

Chi Ting's body erupted with golden light, and his entire body was covered in golden armor.

Seeing this, Hu Qingyun didn't hold back. "Heaven-Overturning Palm!"

Rumble!

The earth caved in, and then the air seemed to twist as the ground instantly shattered and flipped over.

The large trees on the island were also uprooted, with their roots pointing towards the sky.

Chi Ting sneered, and the power on his body spread out again to block the attack.

He completely ignored all of this and instead planned to kill Xu Mu first.

"Senior Sister, the tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind. This kid Xu Mu is too flashy."

Wu Tian grinned in the distance, looking at Shi Fumeng beside him.

Shi Fumeng clenched her fists, her eyes trembling wildly.

Seeing Chi Ting, Xu Mu was just about to defend when a streak of golden light struck from afar.

Boom!

With a loud crash, Xu Mu was sent flying on the spot.

Dragging her injured body, Fu Jinyu quickly flew into the air and caught Xu Mu.

Xu Mu's head was cushioned by two safety airbags, leaving him completely unharmed.

At this moment, in the center of the battlefield.

An old man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt blocked Chi Ting's attack with a walking stick.

"That's... Tian Zhenyu, one of the Two Cripples!"

Many people in the distance had faces full of joy.

They were all excitedly discussing that Tian Zhenyu, along with Hu Qingyun, would definitely be able to finish off this Jiuli Tribe member.

"Damn it!"

Wu Tian cursed inwardly. Why was there someone else meddling in other people's business?

"Xu Mu, are you alright?"

Tian Xi trotted over from a distance.

The people who were outside earlier also began to approach this area.

Lv Pinlong spotted his grandfather and immediately rushed over, explaining the entire sequence of events.

"Tian Xi, I didn't expect you guys to come too. You really helped a lot."

Just as Xu Mu finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened. "Dodge!"

He grabbed Tian Xi with one arm and spun around, while using his other hand to catch the incoming sword blade.

The longsword sliced across Xu Mu's palm and pierced through his shoulder.

Seeing this from afar, Tian Zhenyu quickly turned around and rushed towards Xu Mu's direction.

"Turning your back on me? Do you think I don't exist?"

A red spear appeared in Chi Ting's hand, and he threw it forcefully at Tian Zhenyu.

Crack!

The spear produced an explosive sound in the air and instantly pierced through Tian Zhenyu's body.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Just a moment ago, they clearly had the upper hand, but the situation reversed in an instant.

"Xu Mu!"

"Brother Mu!"

Fu Jinyu and Chen Xuan shouted simultaneously.

They instantly charged towards the black-robed man.

Whoosh!

The black-robed man swept his longsword horizontally, and terrifying sword energy instantly sent Fu Jinyu and Chen Xuan flying backwards.

Xu Mu looked at the wound on his palm and scoffed. "Aren't you embarrassed, Mr. Soul? Resorting to sneak attacks to deal with a nobody like me?"

Hearing the name Mr. Soul, almost everyone present was struck with terror, their eyes filled with absolute dread.

The founder of the Immortality Research Institute had actually arrived.

This meant it was a complete dead end for them.

Right now, the only person on their side who could pose a threat to these enemies was Hu Qingyun, but he was already injured.

Despair!

Countless faces turned ashen.

"Hahaha! You're finally here! I can't wait to put the corpses of these experts to good use!"

Chi Ting threw his head back and laughed uproariously.

Swish!

Wang Hun moved at an unbelievable speed, slashing toward Xu Mu once again.

Xu Mu quickly tossed Tian Xi aside and executed his Cloud Step, launching himself into the sky.

Just as Wang Hun caught up to him, Xu Mu used his transfer token again, instantly appearing in front of Fu Jinyu.

Suddenly, Xu Mu's eyes widened in shock. The figure in the sky was merely an afterimage; Wang Hun was already right beside him.

At the same time, blood suddenly sprayed from Fu Jinyu's waist as he collapsed to the ground.

"I enjoy fighting smart people. Your speed is far inferior to mine, yet you still tried to take to the sky. You obviously had a trick up your sleeve."

Wang Hun said with a smile, "I already figured out that the transfer token is on this woman."

"Bastard!"

Xu Mu roared furiously and launched an attack at Wang Hun.

"Your defense is indeed strong, but as you can see, since I can cut you, I naturally have the ability to sever your head from your shoulders!"

Wang Hun's tone was as calm as still water, as if everything was perfectly under his control.

"Brother Mu..."

Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly glowed with a brilliant golden light.

Swish!

Just as Wang Hun prepared to strike Xu Mu again, his wrist was abruptly entangled by thick vines shooting out from the ground.

"Who is it?"

Startled, Wang Hun immediately turned around.

Standing on a distant boulder was a middle-aged man with curly long hair and a thick beard, appearing out of nowhere. He tilted his head back and spread his arms with a confident smile.

His pair of white gloves was already dyed crimson with blood.

"Heroes always make their entrance at the very end. Bloom, my flowers!"
